They're her fault because she took her clothes off and paraded around half naked in public, got her picture in the papers and no one seems to be saying anything about it except to cheer.

I'm concerned about it because the monarchy is important. I'm a trad. The current degeneration of the British monarchy seems to me to be the last nail in the coffin of what is, essentially, the mother country of the western world.

I still blame the British monarchy for the Anglican schism so I'm afraid I won't be shedding any tears for them as they get knocked around in the general swirl of western civilization disappearing down the drain. I would, however, consider shedding a tear or two for the general English culture that produced Newman, Chesterton, Belloc and Tolkien.

J: Your condemnation of the British royal family is too sweeping. You asked when they did any thing worthwhile? Well, I would suggest the Prince of Wales Trust. Prince Charles' program of giving low interest loans to small businesses was apparently a success. The Trust even made a profit from the loans being repaid by successful businesses.

So, I would consider this one worthwhile thing the Prince of Wales did!

I have a teeny bit of respect for William himself. He graduated university and joined the military, which strikes me as deeply sensible. Now he's got a respectable job flying helicopters and rescuing people off the tops of mountains. Flight Lt. Wales.

Oh, and I've always approved of Prince Charles's efforts to undo the architectural and urban disaster that was visited on Britain since the war. He may be a bit of a flake but he's got sense about the urban environment.
